If you are looking for a strictly classic green tea, you have found it in this autumn tea of highest quality. It has a very powerful taste with notes of the typical Japanese tanginess and it is very aromatic. This also shows in the full colour of the infusion. A tea with such a distinct taste would probably be too much for beginners, but it is a treat for the long-time green tea connoisseur. Compared to „Sencha Fuji” or „Fukujyu”, this tea is reacher in content and stronger.
The eastern province of Zhejiang is famous for Lung Ching tea, which has been grown at the western lake Xihu near the city of Longjing ever since the time of the Tang dynasty. Also known as the "Dragon Fountain Tea" following a legend about a rain-bringing dragon, it was awarded the highest possible title: "Tea of the Emperor". Its taste gives you an idea why. It is light, a little sweet and fruity without losing the classical green tea character, with a really royal temper. The top quality is carefully dried by hand in pans after wilting and thus receives a flat, emerald-green leaf.
SPECIALITY!!!
This leaf with its many shades of green and brown is only produced in the Taiwanese highlands. Stopping the fermentation process at the right moment leaves only the edges fermented, whereas the leaf centre remains green. This quality has a fleshier and more finely processed leaf than standard Oolongs. The cup shines a brassy colour. The infusion shows the blaze of colour with the differences between intense green and brown colours. The tea has a slight black tea character with a pleasant sweetness and a slightly doughy note.
Should there ever be an official hall of fame for the world's top teas, this speciality certainly would belong in the upper category. It was originally grown in Fujian at such high amplitudes that monkeys were trained to pluck the leaves. Today, people do this during a period of several days. The rough, slightly fluffy leaf makes a light green infusion and a mild cup. Slight nuances of honey characterise this fascinating tea. A must for every lover of green tea.
We are delighted to be able to offer this extraordinary plucking as an organic quality now! The success story started in the year 2000 when three tea lovers founded this fine, exclusive, 75 hectares large tea garden in East Nepal in order to produce, amongst other teas, half-fermented premium qualities in close corporation with several smaller farms. Serious competition for the Oolongs from Darjeeling and Formosa with an annual export of only a few lots with just under 100 kg net produce each. Both tea leaves and infusion have an intense scent of hay flowers, a complex, freshly aromatic and slightly earthy character with a delicately sweet spiciness.
RARITY!!!
Temi, the only tea estate in Sikkim, was founded in 1969 and is located in the south of district. We offer you an absolute top quality of this popular plantation from the first plucking. The finely shaped, slightly matt, greenish leaf and fresh and flowery taste are the significant characteristics of our import. The golden-glowing infusion as well as the aromatic, fresh bouquet crowns this plucking.
This plantation has a surface of more than 400 hectares and is located near the Kachenjunga mountain range. During the winter vegetation break, the plants, cultivated at altitudes of between 1,400 and 2,400 m, find their energy to convince us, as every year, of thwir extraordinary first and second flush qualities. The leaves are large and regular with a classical, beautiful first flush appearance and large portions of silvery tips. With a very flowery and spicy character of its own and a sweet body, this tea has a highly aromatic scent. The infusion is a very bright orange.
A strong and spicy blend. South Italian flavour!
This plantation was co-founded by a German missionary and manufactures leaf teas of excellent quality, which grow at altitudes of between 980 and 2,050 m on 257 hectares of pure cultivation area. We are proud to offer this excellent quality: this tea presents a regular Sinensis leaf with silvery tips. This quality does not only enchant us by its bright, amber-coloured cup but surprises us with its highly aromatic and spicy taste with a very pleasant mustacel note. The flowery bouquet reflects the taste. It is worth an affaire!
This tea is not only a perfectly balanced combination of classical „Sencha” tea leaf, mild „Matcha” and peeled, roasted rice. This widely known variety of „Japanese Genmaicha” respects the highest standards of quality. The lime-coloured cup reveals a light, roasted note. A cup of this tea is a pleasure for all the senses. Wonderfully soft in taste, slightly sweet and with hints of caramel, this tea opens its heart to you... and in return you will be captivated by the spicy sweetness.
